Quebec Archdiocese to Pay $31.5M in Clergy Abuse Settlement
If this is your mountain
- If you attend a church or ministry, confirm it has a clear, independent process for reporting and investigating abuse allegations against leadership.
- Ask your church leadership what background-check and child-protection policies are currently in place and when they were last reviewed.
- Do not assume institutional size, age, or reputation guarantees proper handling of abuse claims — verify policies directly.
- Pray for genuine repentance, protection of victims, and truth in cases still unresolved, regardless of denomination.
